Saudi Arabia Advances Industrial Transformation with Fourth Industrial Revolution

Saudi Arabia is ushering in a new phase of industrial transformation under the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Spearheaded by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, this evolution aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, emphasizing economic diversification and industrial advancement. The transformation integrates technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and 3D printing to enhance productivity and streamline operations.

The National Industrial Strategy and initiatives like the Future Factories Program aim to convert traditional facilities into smart factories. A reported 6.5% rise in the Industrial Production Index as of July 2025 underscores the progress. The upcoming Industrial Transformation Saudi Arabia 2025 event will further highlight these advancements and encourage global collaborations.
